PITTsBURG. June 21.-The coke manu-
facturers still insist that they have not
employed any of Pinkertons men to
work in the coke regions They held a
meeting, but they claimed it was merely
for the purpose of comforting about the
condition of trade and affairs in the
region. They say they expect to secure
a general resumption at the old scale in
"A short time. There is no doubt. not
withstanding the denials. that arrange
ments are being perfected for the en-
ploynent of force to protect the men and
property. When this is organized they
claim they can secure all the men they
desire To resume work.

a meeting of the strikers at the Fair
Chance furnace this afternoon. 40 out

NEW ORLEANS, June 26.-The follow

this morning.
BEAUvOIR. Miss. June "a.
To the Managing Editor of the New Orleans
Pieayrne-
DEAR SIR-In your issue of this morn
ing there Is copied from the Chicago In
ter-Ocedn what purports to he a letter
from me To Col. Phoseen Howe, of Dan
vile, Illinois. frcm Beauvoir, Mississippi.
dated June 20. The letter above de
scribed is a barefacel forgery, the author
of which did not qualify himself for his
fraudulent purpose by learning from
persons in the neiglhborhood of Danvilie,
from which place it appears he wrote.
such facts as might have enabled him To
make his fiction less palpably correct.
Please give this place in your next
ISSUE and send marked copy to the
Hater-Ocedn, that the imposition prac-
ticed upon me might he exposed where
it was put into circulation.
Yours respectfully,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
MIR. Davis stated in an informal con
versation with "A representative OF the
Picayune, and not for publication. that
the views expressed in this spurious let
ter are precisely the reverse of those ac-
tually entertained by him. The troops
in the Union army were all mustered
into the Federal service. States as such
had no troops in the war and conse-
quently all military stores and trophies
captured became the property of the
General Government and subject to the
control and mt the disposition of Con-
gress. Only Confederate flags had
from time to time been returned
to the Southern States by Northern
legislatures and various military assOci-
ations. There was in reality no authori-
ty under the law for these acts of courte-
sy, but the matter was not considered of
material Importance. and the question
was never raised until the issuance of
the recent order by Mr.. Cleveland. MIR.
Davis declared that he had resisted all
attempts of the newspaper men to inter
view him on the subject, and would
have remained silent but for this re-
markable and unique swindle, which he
denounced over and over, in general de
tail, as false.

lie who causes two blades of grass To
grow where but one grew before is pub
lie benefactor, but he who adds another
to the list of fruits adapted to Florida
and climate is doubly a benefactor. We
are led to this expression Of philosophy
by considering the probable advantage to
the State and profit to her people, Of the
success which has attended the intro
duction Of the White Niagara grape by
Messrs. HAYNES, Young & Bailey. They
obtained and planted out, i'm April Of
last year, one hundred plants Of this ex-
cellent grape. Its cultivation here was
experimental and its success problemati-
cal The vines, although planted ON
new ground. throve wonderfully, and az
once demonstrated that 10 this extent,
the experiment was successful. Whether
they would fruit, whether the fruit
would r,pen uniformly, and whether II
would retain its characteristic flavor
and bouquet, We're questions to be de-
cided. The vines planted last year have
fruited this year. But two or three
punches each were allowed to grow upon
the most vigorous plants, although fruit
set plentifully. Those punches permitted
to remain are fast ripening, and the re-
suit shows that the fruit retains the ex-
ceIlent qualities which have made it one
Of the most popular Of all the varieties
grown AT the North.
By invitation "A number of gentlemen
visited the villa of Messrs. Haynes,
Young & Bailey on Tuesday last, for the
purpose of examining the vines and
fruit. and to observe the cutting and
canning Of few clusters for exhibition.
Among those who were present were Mr..
Steele. horticultural editor Of the Florida
Dispatch, Mayor Reel, j. l.. Giles, Es-
auire Everett and the editor Of the Re
Porter. We found in the vineyard some
two hundred strong and vigorous vines.
One Of these, although planted but fif-
teen months ago, was found. by actual
measurement TO have attained a growth
of cane Of upwards Of forty feet in
length. The punches Of fruit were solid
and compact. the berries plump and full.
while the quality Of the fruit was most
excellent. The party Of inspection su-
perintended the cutting Of several sam
pie clusters, and the canning Of some Of
them to be placed ON exhibition. The
unanimous verdict Of the visitors were
that the Niagara had proven 80 successful
that il promised To Florida most lus-
cious grape which could be both sue
cessfully and profitably cultivated upon
ordinary pine land. and that thus an
other valuable addition TO the list OF
F1orida's fruits was promised.
